Topic: Liquid Nails ? (Read 1789 times)

My Bro & I are starting to build our own equipment and I got to thinking about Liquid Nails. Has anyone tried using it instead of wood glue? Will it work or will it cause the joints to be too ridgid not allowing the boards to expand and contract enough in the joint areas. Would it be harmfull to the bees in anyway if used. I havent compared the $ of it compared to wood glue so even if it would work it may not be worth the price.

don't know about liquid nails. i used some of that gorilla glue for repairs this year. it worked great! i had some pieces that were a little split and i didn't want to re-nail.

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Liquid nails is similar to Titebond. I use it for building (floor systems ect.). It would be a good product to use. I would let it cure for about a day before placing it in a hive. It can be painted over after it cures and it also keeps the joints nice and tight.
